Hello Atakan KOC!! :up:

I'm trying to Activate this Great Hack in My Forums, but when I try to see a Thread in the Forum I've designated to have this Functionality (Chief Post Show first post on every thread page? as Yes) I'm receiving an Error.

Also when I try to create a New Thread in the Forum where I've Chosen to Activate this Hack, the Create New Thead Form appears with the Four New Options (postbit Article, Flipped, Normal, and Legacy), but when I create the Thread, I receive the same Error when the Forum try to show it to me!!

What should I do to use this Hack?? What Should I Change?? Do I Have To Edit a Template??

Thank You For Your Help!!

I'm copying the Error Message:

I have installed it but how to enable/configure it.
By screenshots i'm confused
i think it'll show 1st post of thread on each page.
isnt it?
will it do anything else?screenshots are confusing me.
I have lots of sections.
do i have to edit and set yes in all ?there shd be option which globally set yes for all sections.

Using 3.6.8, when I enable this in a forum, and then go to view that forum, or try to make a post, I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/includes/class_postbit.php(296) : eval()'d code on line 352

uninstalled until it can be fixed... oh well - nice idea, just needs to be fixed

[elmati]

i dont know if this is a bug o just misconfiguration from me but when i use quickedit for 1st post the 1st post return to default vb postbit...

anyone have this problem too?

thx in advance

For the add-rep button; In your postbit_articles template
Find:

<a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a></if>

Add before:

<if condition="$show['reputationlink']">
            <span id="reputationmenu_$post[postid]"><a href="reputation.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow" id="reputation_$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reputation.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_to_xs_reputation]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></span>
            <if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbrep_register("$post[postid]")</script></if>

If you didn't change anything then it will stay as postbit_article, if you made the changes I posted then this is just part of it, if anything is edited, you must make sure you choose article.

Im showing an error when trying to do this.

"The conditional on line 43 appears to be missing its end tag (</if>). The template will not function properly unless this is fixed."

I think the replacement code isnt formed right?

[elmati]

no.

when i create a new topic the system said i am using postbit_article but when i use quick edit for this 1st post and press F5 to reload the page the postbit change to normal postbit...

tomorrow ill make some tests

thx Spermy for your answer!

[Wheezy]

This is an awesome hack! One of the best ones Ive downloaded...

I noticed though when I select the "Postbit Article" thread type, it reverts my custom signature edit (**) back to vB default. Is there a template for this Mod I can edit to fix it?

** I have a template edit in place which forces all signatures to the bottom of the post and extends the signature line across the entire length of the post.

You are correct it does not work with quick edit.

I had that same problem, so I just took out the code for the sig in the Articles.
